Botulinum toxin is one of the most poisonous substances known to man. Scientists have estimated that a single gram could kill as many as one million people and a couple of kilos could kill every human on earth.
DERMALFILLERSGLASGOW.CO.UK
Botulinum toxin (BTX) is a neurotoxic protein. There are seven types of botulinum toxin. Types A and B are used in medicine to treat various muscle spasms and diseases characterized by overactive muscle. The commercial form is marketed under the brand name Botox, among others.
HOW DOES BOTOX WORK? Botox blocks signals from the nerves to the muscles.
The injected muscle can no longer contract, which causes the wrinkles to relax and soften.
